Nina Ottosson Activity Matz Garden Game Mat

THREE WAYS TO HIDE THE TREATS, ONE VERY MOTIVATED DOG

Sniffing out hidden treats is one of the most natural activities for a dog, and the Nina Ottosson Activity Matz Garden Game builds an entire enrichment experience around that instinct. This Level 2 activity mat features five treat pockets with optional hook-and-loop closures, plush material to hide kibble and snacks within, and three ways to play from a gentle sniff-out to the full ultimate challenge. The non-slip, water-resistant base keeps it stable during play and it folds flat for easy storage between sessions.

Why it's a great choice

• Three levels of difficulty: Start by hiding treats in the plush material for easy sniffing, progress to covering pockets with toys, and for the ultimate challenge, use the hook-and-loop closures to secure all five treat pockets.

• Five treat pockets with closures: Five hidden pockets each secured with hook-and-loop closures give dogs a physical challenge that goes beyond sniffing, engaging their paws and persistence in getting the reward.

• Non-slip and water-resistant base: The base stays firmly in place on hard floors and carpets during active play, and wipes clean easily, making this mat practical for everyday use.

• Folds flat for easy storage: When play is done, the mat folds flat to take up minimal space in any cupboard or drawer, making it simple to put away and bring back out for the next session.

Key benefits for your Dog

• Natural scent-work and foraging: Sniffing out treats hidden in plush material engages your dog's strongest sense, providing deep mental stimulation that can be more tiring and satisfying than physical exercise alone.

• Reduces boredom-driven behaviour: Regular enrichment play gives dogs an outlet for their energy and curiosity, helping to reduce unwanted behaviours like chewing, digging and excessive barking.

• Scales with your dog's ability: Three difficulty levels mean this mat stays relevant as your dog improves, avoiding the frustration of a toy that becomes too easy or too difficult.

• Suitable for all dogs: Fun for all ages, sizes and breeds, the Garden Game Activity Matz is as suitable for puppies being introduced to enrichment toys as it is for experienced puzzle dogs.

A Level 2 snuffle-style enrichment mat with three challenge settings and five treat pockets, ideal for dogs who love scent-work, owners wanting to add mental stimulation to the daily routine, or anyone looking for a versatile activity mat that grows with their dog.
